Interesting conversations with Raven are never out of question on the Bosque. Spent a good 20 minutes "chatting" with Adoko this morning. Thanks for spending the time, sir!!

"Let's play Peek-a-boo" says Red-winged Black Bird. These guys are quick and like to hide in cattails. It really was a game as I chased him around from pond to tree, to pond, and back to tree. Love these Katz!!! Grew up with them in the Foothills of Colorado.

As another Thursday flies away, I am reminded that sometimes beauty is right in front of us. Scenes so common, we simply take them for granted. Art that is so ubiquitous that we may glance it and say "yep, seen one of them." House Sparrow, Tingley Ponds, Albuquerque, NM 5/2025.

Some days, it's just about Mr. Black Phoebe. Yes, as they shift in the light, their tone changes, but mostly present as an all-black bird. Sweet song, and these cats return to the same nesting spots year after year! Corrales Bosque 5/3/2025.

I had some great shots today, but this one is worth posting. The sweet face of a difficult bird to photograph...White0-breasted Nuthatch "listening" for bugs...
